Chapter 493: Contrast

"What are you looking at?"

Yan Chengyue smiled and put a plate of steamed buns in front of Li Luan'er's eyes, and couldn't help but ask when she looked around.

Li Luan'er smiled: "It's nothing. ”

While talking, he went to look at his four boys: "Chen Yi, eat a few fewer buns, you are a little fat, Chen Xun, don't rob my brother's porridge, Chen Yuan ......" Li Luan'er took a handkerchief to wipe off the rice on the corner of the child's mouth.

The owner of the food stall who came forward with a plate of beans smiled: "These four boys from the eldest lady's family are really handsome, like dolls in the painting." ”

"One by one, they are a little naughty." Li Luan'er also replied with a smile: "I just heard someone next to me mention that the small pickles made by your family are very delicious, can we buy some and bring them back in a while." ”

"It's our blessing that you love it." When the boss heard this, he was immediately happy: "I don't want money if you want to take less, if it is more, we will also be a small business, and besides, the small pickles are also a little troublesome to make." ”

Yan Chengyue said with a smile: "It's not easy to buy and sell a small capital, how much money should you calculate and count me as less." ”

The boss was even more happy, and immediately made a small plate of small pickles to be regarded as a match, and then put the small pickles down, so he glanced at Li Luan'er inadvertently, and was suddenly a little surprised: "You, you are a heroic general." ”

Li Luan'er nodded: "Exactly, how did you recognize it?" ”

The boss listened to Li Luan'er's admission, and he didn't care about talking about it at the moment, so he knelt down and took a few heads seriously: "The little one will give you a snort, and the little one will thank you for avenging the little family......"

"That's what I said." Li Luan'er quickly stood up in shock, and Yan Chengyue also got up to help the boss.

At this time, the people who were doing business and buying things next to them were alarmed, and they all came around to see the excitement, and some people heard that the boss said that Li Luan'er was the heroic general who had just won the battle, and they knelt down and snorted, which really scared Li Luan'er.

Yan Chengyue was also busy helping those people up one by one, and asked in a low voice what was going on.

The boss wiped his tears and said: "The small family was originally at the border, that year the Tartar kowtowed to the small family except for the small one, the small one had no choice but to flee to the capital, worked as a coolie, and worked as a buddy, and later got this snack stall with the craftsmanship handed down from the family, and it can be regarded as a general life, the small one thought that this was the case for a lifetime, and the revenge of relatives cannot be avenged, where do you know that you ......"

Speaking of this, the boss couldn't cry: "The little one heard people talk about it, saying that you killed more Tartars, so they asked people to cut off the heads of the Tartars and pile them into a mountain, and I heard those adults talk about you being too cruel, according to the small ones, those people are standing and talking without back pain, their families have not been killed by the Tartars, they have not been baptized by the Tartars, and they don't know the cruelty of the Tartars, so they dare to accuse you, but the small ones are grateful to you, if it weren't for you, the small family is not sure when to repay it." ”

As soon as the boss said this, those who knelt down and snorted their heads also got up and said that some family members lost their lives because of the Tartars, some people in the family were killed by the Tartars as soldiers, and some were border people who fled to the capital.

Li Luan'er and Yan Chengyue could only sigh in their hearts when they saw this scene, Li Luan'er said in a deep voice: "If the border troubles are not eliminated, the people of the border pass are not stable, that is, the people of the capital cannot be stable, my family is in the capital, and the children grew up in the capital, it is for the sake of my family and children, I also have to stabilize the north in my lifetime, you are not grateful to me, and do not kneel to me, if you want to thank you, you should thank the official family, if it is not for the official family who does not dislike me as a woman, and supports me to lead the army to the battle, where can there be today." ”

As soon as she said this, those people came back to their senses, nodded yes one by one, and some even knelt down and knelt in the direction of the imperial city.

Yan Chengyue glanced at Li Luan'er approvingly, and Li Luan'er took advantage of the fact that the people had not eased up and fled away with the four children, got into their own carriage, did not dare to stop again, and told the coachman to hurry home.

The four Chen Yi brothers got into the carriage, all with pride, and Chen Yi even nestled in Li Luan'er's arms and smiled: "My mother is so good." ”

Chen Yuan also smiled: "My mother is so majestic, and my son will be as majestic as his mother when he grows up." ”

Chen Yun took his own golden abacus and pulled: "Cheng, you learn martial arts and go to war as soon as possible, and hand over the spoils you get back to me, and I can double it for you." ”

"Mother." Chen Xun grabbed the corner of Li Luan'er's clothes and looked up at her: "My mother's anger has decreased a lot, I think it is because of the gratitude of the people......"

Li Luan'er slapped the four boys one by one: "Be safe, and then make a fuss and throw you down." ”

Yan Chengyue smiled at the five of the mother and son playing, only to feel that her heart was warm, looking at Li Luan'er's smiling face, her heart was soft, as if something was about to melt away.

The family of six got into the carriage and left, but they didn't see Cui Zhenggong at the corner of the street stunned, his eyes full of envy.

Seeing that there were more and more people on this street, Cui Zhenggong put the paper in place, and after a while, a woman with a child came to find her, asking Cui Zhenggong to help write a letter to her husband who was still doing small business outside, Cui Zhenggong smiled and took the job, first put his hand to his mouth and sighed, so that his hand was warmer, and then picked up the pen and wrote a letter seriously, sealed it and handed it to the woman, took the copper plate handed by the woman and said thank you.

About a year ago, many people came to write letters today, and in the middle of the afternoon, Cui Zhenggong really earned a lot of copper money, if the Cui family did not raid the house, he would never put this money in his eyes, but now the Cui family can hardly even afford to eat, he naturally cherishes the money.

Cleaning up the stalls, Cui Zhenggong took these copper coins home, narrow alleys, potholes, and some sewage on the road, when he walked to the innermost, a small courtyard appeared in front of him, Cui Zhenggong knocked on the door, and after a while, a woman wearing a blue and white cloth dress and a cloth cloth opened the door.

"Xianggong." The woman's face was pale, her body was thin, and she smiled and took the rattan box in Cui Zhenggong's hand: "The rice has been cooked, just wait for the Xianggong to come back and start the meal." ”

Cui Zhenggong nodded and entered the door with the woman, and before he entered the house, he heard Song's scolding: "Zhang Ying, you little slut, where did you go when you were asked to cook?" Be a dead thing, slut, ruined mother-in-law......"

When Zhang Ying heard this, she immediately lowered her head, and after a while, her eyes were full of tears, and she raised her head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Xianggong, mother-in-law, she ...... Forget it, let's eat first. ”

While talking, Zhang Ying and Cui Zhenggong entered the house, and Cui Zhenggong looked at the food on the table, and felt bitter again.

It's not that the food is bad, now that the Cui family is down, Cui Zhenggong doesn't ask how good the food is, but he doesn't ask for anything to make money, he just wants the family to be safer, and Zhang Ying can make the food more decent.

Seeing that the originally white rice was burned by Zhang Ying, a few kinds of green vegetables were even more mushy, and the rare white flowers made of pork belly looked tasteless.

Cui Zhenggong couldn't help but think that when Li Luan'er entered Cui's house, at that time, the timid and cowardly Li Luan'er didn't dare to resist anyone, and he had to take care of him when he was sick every day.

Shaking his head, Cui Zhenggong put his messy thoughts behind him and called Song and Zhang Ying to eat together.

Song sat down at the table, saw that Zhang Ying was about to sit down, and knocked on the table with chopsticks: "Zhang Ying, have you forgotten the rules, and you still don't serve your minister's meal." ”

Zhang Ying was very aggrieved, but she still stood up and added a bowl of rice to Cui Zhenggong, and turned around to add rice and vegetables to the Song family.

Song looked at Zhang Ying coldly: "What's the matter, wronged?" You are wronged, our Cui family is still wronged, I knew that you were such a mourning star, I shouldn't have married you in the first place, since you entered the Cui family, what good has our family gotten, the family is ruined......"

While speaking, the Song family actually cried, without it, implicated by Liu Mu, some of the things that the Cui family had done before were turned over, and Cui Zhenggong's father was also assigned because he was involved in a homicide, every time the Song family thought of this, she hated Zhang Ying, she didn't dare to resent the official family, so she could only blame Zhang Ying for the fault, thinking that Zhang Ying was a mourning star and tired the Cui family.

Zhang Ying took a deep breath and endured it, the Zhang family is not having a good time now, her father was also implicated and seized the official, her mother couldn't think about it for a while, Zhang Ying couldn't go back to her parents' house, and she had no means of survival, if she left the Cui family, she couldn't live at all, so she could only endure the unreasonable troubles of the Song family.

"Mother, let's eat." Cui Zhenggong couldn't hear what he said, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the rice ruthlessly, he was already hungry, and now he didn't care how unpalatable the food was, he would fill his stomach first.

Song is still crying: "Son, it's all bad for the mother, you shouldn't be poor and love the rich in the first place, if you don't leave Luan Niang, this son and our family may not be more prosperous, you can't say that you can't be an official in the early middle school, there are four fat grandsons to hold for your mother, you have a sister-in-law who is a concubine, and the official family is a brother-in-law, and you have become the daughter-in-law of the Hou Ye, the future is great, it is stronger than this mourning star, you can't even cook well, and you can't sew clothes, it's really ......"

Zhang Ying couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped the table and said loudly: "Old witch, do you dislike me now?" Why didn't you say that I was a mourning star when you came to my house to ask for marriage, how did you please my father and marry me to your family, this son will say that my family is not when your family is defeated, according to me, or your Cui family has burdened me, I am the age of the flowers, I am beautiful and beautiful, and my family background is good, what kind of person can't marry, but I married to your family's second marriage, I can't care about grievances, yes, I can't cook or sew clothes, but what will your son-in-law do except write two letters to people, and I can't do it......"

There was a crisp snap, Cui Zhenggong couldn't stand it, got up and gave Zhang Ying a slap: "If you think the Cui family is not good, go back, I will write a letter of resignation with you." ”R1152
